Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Willing to Wash Hands and Make Soup for You (1)

"You want to come back? Why didn’t you say anything?" Guh Tian lifted his eyelids, glancing at Guh Siyi with evident satisfaction in his aged eyes. Among his three grandchildren, it was Guh Siyi he admired the most. With her exceptional talent in ancient martial arts, she had become a Mid-Level Innate Realm Martial Cultivator at the young age of twenty-six. Not only that, from a very young age, she had shown remarkable talent in business, and under Guh Tian’s meticulous guidance, whether in terms of socializing or conducting herself, Guh Siyi was an outstanding young lady of repute.

If not for the heartache five years ago, Guh Siyi could have already claimed her rightful place in Xuandu City.

"I wanted to surprise you, Grandfather. I was naive and stubborn to leave home five years ago. Now that I have grown up, I naturally won’t waste any more time," Guh Siyi said as she sat down beside Guh Tian, affectionately linking arms with him, slowly articulating her words.

"That’s good. That’s a true descendant of the Guh Family!" Guh Tian nodded contentedly. "It’s good that you’re back. Take back the honor and everything else that rightfully belongs to you. During your absence, many small fish and shrimp have jumped out in Xuandu City, thinking they have some ability and calling themselves the number one rich heiress. Siyi, give me some face, let them see what a real young lady of repute is like!"

"Okay, Grandfather, rest assured, I definitely won’t disappoint you," Guh Siyi squinted her sharp fox-like eyes and curved her lips into a cool smile.

Sitting to the side, Guh Siqi quietly observed the interaction between Guh Tian and Guh Siyi, opened his mouth but did not speak.

In Guh Siyi’s bedroom, after exchanging pleasantries with Guh Tian, she returned to her room, took a quick shower, and changed into a red silk nightgown.

At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. Opening it, she found Guh Siqi standing there.

"What is it?" Guh Siyi glanced indifferently at Guh Siqi, her expression unreadable as she opened the door and, without waiting for an invitation, seated herself in front of her dressing table.

"Big sister, what exactly are you back for?" Guh Siqi got straight to the point, his expression complex as he looked at Guh Siyi.

"Why?" Guh Siyi looked back at Guh Siqi, puzzled, her tone slightly cold, "I stayed in Country Jin for five years, and it’s about time I came back. Do you not wish for my return?"

Guh Siqi offered a bitter smile, speaking softly, "Of course not, I’ve been longing to see you sooner. But everyone...Why didn’t you come back sooner when Siqing died?"

"Don’t mention Guh Siqing to me!" Guh Siyi’s tone turned frosty, her tilted fox-like eyes flashing sharply, "Back then, at the Xuandu Jade Stone Conference, she dug up my old scandals, making me the laughingstock, and the embarrassment I’d concealed for five years was completely exposed by her. Such a foolish woman doesn’t deserve to be my sister!"

"But big sister, we are—" Guh Siqi started, but he was cut off.

"Enough! Don’t talk to me about blood relations!" Guh Siyi interrupted, her voice ice-cold before he could finish.

She stood up, walking deliberately to where Guh Siqi stood, and although she was only 1.68 meters to his 1.83, she didn’t seem any less fierce—in fact, her presence was even more imposing.

"Remember this, in the Guh Family, there is only one heiress, and that’s me, Guh Siyi! Guh Siqing is dead; she no longer has the right to be looked up to!" Before Guh Siqi could speak, Guh Siyi waved her hand and continued, "Stop talking about some useless blood relations. In aristocratic families, those things are the least useful! Xiao Qi, just be a good young master, carry on the lineage for the Guh Family, and I along with Grandfather will ensure you a lifetime of wealth and glory."

Guh Siqi stared blankly at the sister he had lived with for over twenty years, feeling a sense of estrangement. The death of Guh Siqing had forced him to face the heartlessness and cruelty of the Guh Family for the first time, and today, his own sister, Guh Siyi, was ruthlessly tearing off the final mask.
